I am using the Python API to read in large structures but it seems there are errors. Is there a limit on the size of a structure that can be read using the Python API?

There are only hardware limits on the size of structures that can be read into the Python API. Users frequently read structures on the order of gigabytes. However, when dealing with items of this size be sure to free the memory if possible when performing multiple iterations to make the calculation scalable.
